Looking for a new pet? One that you don’t hand to feed, walk or clean up its shit? One that can be unzipped and stuffed full of your most precious belongings? Well, let us present to you Givenchy’s new creation, their iconic Nightingale bag crafter here in shaggy goat fur. Like a portable Chewbacca head. Or Cousin It. With a handle. Now, when looking at such a bag, you may find yourself asking the question – “do I need this bag? When will I have such an occasion to carry it?”. But erase these negative thoughts from your mind immediately. For this bag is not needed in any literal sense, for such menial tasks and transporting your iPhone and lipstick and all of that. No, this bag is needed to say I’ve made it. I’m carrying the new Nightingale and yes, I’m purposely pressing it upon your leg on the tube for I want you to be tickled by its precious hyde. Stroke it, stranger. Don’t trust us? Well then, heed the words of Mr Riccardo Tisci, the brains behind it – “Over the years, the Nightingale bag has become an iconic piece reaching a diverse cross section of the market from young girls to more mature women alike. It’s normal that people become very attached to their bag, carrying it everyday it becomes almost an extension of them”. See – normal. And, for those not quite ready to embrace the full fur look (why not?) there are other fabrics available in the new Nightingale’s cleaner, more symmetrical shape – devore velvet, exotics and pastel leathers. “A tribute to the modern woman” Givenchy say. We say – adopt one today.
